about

What better time than the festive season to upload a slab of sheer gloom? We've been working on this for ages and couldn't improve on the original version, so if there's anything wrong let's just pretend it's there to add character ;-)

In much the same way that Meghan Trainor is all about dat bass, this is all about the string part: David came up with it and we built the song around it. He's scared we've done a The Verve and accidentally nicked it, so if you spot a Rolling Stones string part that'll get us sued by all means let us know.

lyrics

I think I've lost my way again
I don't know what I'm doing
I need a reboot
A three fingered salute

So switch me off and on again
Make me feel like a new thing
It's time to wipe the slate clean
Switch me off and on again

I think I've messed it up again
Drove myself to a dead end
I'm breaking for parts
I need a restart

So switch me off and on again
Make me feel like a new thing
It's time to wipe the slate clean
Switch me off and on again
Switch me off again
